Ten to fifteen minutes of chasing burns off energy, helps support a healthy weight and reduces boredom behaviour such as furniture scratching, over-grooming and 3 a.m. zoomies. It is ideal for indoor cats with no outdoor access, energetic kittens, single-cat homes without a playmate and multi-cat households that need a shared activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the automatic rolling cat ball safe for kittens?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The shell is non-toxic PC plastic with a silicone finish and the slow mode gives a gentle chase speed that suits kittens. As with any toy that has a rope or pom-pom tail, supervise the first few play sessions and put the toy away if your cat starts chewing the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the battery last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 130 mAh battery charges in about 30 minutes and stretches across a long play session, because the toy drops into standby after roughly 5 minutes instead of running non-stop. A flashing red light tells you when it needs charging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do the different light colours mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlue means fast mode, purple means slow mode and yellow means interactive mode. A rapidly flashing red light means the battery is low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this cat toy noisy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The motor is quiet, so you will mostly hear the ball rolling across the floor. That makes it suitable for apartments and evening play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work on carpet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt rolls best on hardwood, tile and laminate, and it also works on low-pile or short carpet. Deep, plush rugs will slow it down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it for my dog?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall dogs and puppies usually enjoy chasing it as well. It is not designed for medium or large dogs with a strong bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the toy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the shell with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the ball in water, as it contains a motor and a rechargeable battery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill my cat get bored of it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe direction changes are random and you can switch between three speeds, so the toy behaves differently in every session.
